I think the pain would be quick. If I did it proper I would've instantly passed out. It's not like when I had anesthesia (when you drift off quickly and your eyes close). I just felt like I was hit with a ringing sound, felt like I needed to spit/puke, felt disoriented, and felt I was about to lose consciousness if I didn't take off the bag. I think my eyes began to felt a bit itchy as well. I think in the PPH and other sources mention that you need two deep breaths to lose consciousness; I felt that I could've gotten there if I hyperventilated, pulled the bag full of Nitrogen gas down, and took two deep breaths (the proper way). If you need between six and ten breaths, it probably isn't what the PPH describes. I think there're three kinds of experience with this gas: 1) you don't make the Nitrogen flow high enough (maybe it's even an euphoric experience and you eventually drift off, but, maybe it's ineffective for CTB), 2) the Nitrogen flow is high enough but you don't instantly pass out cause you didn't follow the proper protocol (the experience I had), and 3) the Nitrogen flow is high enough and you instantly pass out.Ma
You are saying there was some pain, was there pain when getting near unconsciousness? Could maybe an overdose on zolpidem sleeping pill make the passing out process less aware of pain? I tried nitrogen the other week and here is my testing video of me just breathing through the hose. My blood oxygen levels dropped to 49% and started to feel I was getting somewhat close to passing out. My ears this time did not ring nor did I get the needles numb feeling on my face. I think my body has gotten used to this gas from so much testing or maybe these sides will appear once I am near unconscious.
If it's not anesthesia or N, I think there will be pain and it's unavoidable. You might not register it or experience it if it's quick. It's not like they interviewed people who took 1–2 deep breaths and CTB-ed. Usually, they interview people in these experiments when they set the Nitrogen amount lower and they're still conversing, but if they continue they would probably lose consciousness. In the videos out there when Nitrogen gas is used for death (e.g. euthanizing a pig), I imagine the Nitrogen gas comes rushing all at once and the symptoms are universal. I probably had more Nitrogen flowing into the bag than you cause in the video you didn't even use the bag. It was probably almost the same experience you had when you heard the ringing sound, but we are both alive because we had oxygen in our body still. I didn't feel like suffocating though. I think the intent is for you to lose consciousness quickly if you blast a high amount of Nitrogen into the exit bag.
I think @DeathSweetDeath mentioned (I think it was @DeathSweetDeath who mentioned it I don't remember) sleeping pills aren't used. I think they're not used in the protocol cause it complicates the process. The more variables you put in the more complex it becomes. If there was a system in which you slept with Zolpidem and the Nitrogen rushes in after you fall asleep, who's to say that part of the system would work properly or that you're not moving about in your sleep before the Nitrogen gas is let into the bag and you're in the wrong position. When one loses consciousness from the Nitrogen gas, I think the protocol is already taking effect.
